“Saarela capably combines fictional detail with 13th century historic record, giving readers an insider’s perspective on how Meinbald’s leadership influenced future generations—and even the character of his nation. Crusades, power struggles between the church and the crown, debilitating poverty, and a brotherhood forged by war give this offering lively historical authenticity.”

His legs stood knock-kneed and he held his groin as if something serious was amiss with the heirlooms entrusted him. “I swear to you, she is an angel sent to earth to spread kindness,” Falih said, his voice somewhat out of pitch. Something must be wrong, thought Iayd.”
